Excellent 21: A Move-In Ready Apartment in Urasoe with Zero Initial Costs
This rental apartment, Excellent 21, offers a remarkably affordable entry into living in Urasoe City, Okinawa. The property is a 1R (studio) layout with approximately 16.51 square meters of private space, located on the 5th floor of a 5-story reinforced concrete building constructed in 1993. It is equipped with propane gas, air conditioning, and is internet-ready. A single-burner gas stove is included, making it perfectly suited for single occupants.
The most compelling feature is the offer of zero initial move-in costs. According to the agent's special notes, the previous month's rent, security deposit (敷金), key money (礼金), agency fee, and initial guarantee commission are all 0 yen. However, please note that depending on the contract start date, prorated rent may apply, so moving in for exactly 0 yen is not always guaranteed. The floor plan and photos are for reference, and the actual condition of the property takes precedence.
Critical details from the agent's notes must be considered: This is a fixed-term rental contract (定期借家) for 2.0 years. A Life Support membership is mandatory at a monthly cost of 1,100 yen (the first month is borne by the owner). The guarantee commission at contract time is 80% of the total rent (owner's burden), with a continuing annual guarantee commission of 10,000 yen. Note that the guarantee company and commission may change depending on the contract. For contract renewal, an administrative fee of 16,500 yen (tax included) applies. Cancellation within the contract period incurs a penalty. One joint guarantor is required (within 3 degrees of kinship, under 65 years old, with income). A second parking space is not available. The monthly common area fee (共益費) is 1,000 yen.
